DAY 3

Tues Jan 13 Day 3
Up Up & Away - - almost.  We pulled out of Camping World Burlington at 38095 miles at 0920.  At 1:55 we stopped at the Flying J in northern Oregon @ 38354 & filled up for $2.009 a gallon. The instruments said it would be 580 miles to empty.  We stopped at their Subway & split a foot long and a drink, plus we got 60 cents off with my Flying J charge card and didn’t even have to charge it, we paid cash. We left the station at 2:50 the straight down I 5 to Seven Feathers Casino RV Park.  We arrived at 5:35 @ 38533 miles. We covered 179 miles in 2 hrs 45 minutes that’s an ave speed of 65 mph, no bad for a giant brick wall going up & down hills and passing trucks like crazy.

I suppose I have to mention one minor incident while going through Seattle.  I was approaching the express lane entrance driving into the bright sun which came between the sun visors and was hitting the mirrors and the window.  I started to move over and there was a minor bump and I barley touched a car in the lane beside me.  We pulled over & exchanged insurance details Very minimal damage, mostly some minor paint scrapes on her car on the rear fender. I haven’t had time in daylight to check out the RV. It was on the hwy side in Seattle and I forgot at the gas station and it was dark when we got camped again.

  1. Ooh, glad there was minimal damage but watch out for people suddenly claiming whiplash or that their bumper fell off - Michael and I had bad luck with people like that. They would seem reasonable at the time, then we'd get contacted by ICBC claiming that the two paint scratches resulted in whiplash. =(
